STATE DEPARTMENT INTERNSHIP - June 30 1pm CST
Hello Friends,
Please share this virtual opportunity with US State Department with your students and families
It's tomorrow Tuesday, June 30 at 1PM CST
It may open the door to a rewarding future for the students and it's good information for younger students to have in case they decide to pursue a career with the federal government.
Can any alums share with appropriate staff at your alma maters? Thank you kindly!
Best Regards,
Jayne

Each student will receive a “Camp in a Box” package that includes a Siggy robot scooter, USB charging cord, Smart Buddy character figure and a guide for adults to help their student navigate the learning experience. Students will also have access to the Smart Buddies App.
To close the #CodeTheSummer, students will showcase their coding skills during an interactive presentation.

COVID-19 Update Harris County
COVID-19 UPDATE
Cases and hospitalizations are the worst they have been in the course of this pandemic, with Texas Medical Center warning they may exceed ICU capacity. We strongly urge you to minimize non-essential in-person interactions at this time. Every unnecessary interaction you eliminate is one less chance to contract or spread the virus. Continue wearing a mask that covers the nose and mouth for essential activities in which social distancing may prove difficult.
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo issued a new order that commercial entities (i.e. businesses) "must require, at a minimum, that all employees or visitors to the commercial entity’s business premises or other facilities wear face coverings." Additionally, Harris County introduced a color-coded threat level system to make clear the extent of community spread of coronavirus and the steps residents should take to protect themselves and lessen transmission.
If you need to get tested, Houston and Harris County are providing no-cost testing throughout the county. No symptoms are necessary to get tested.
Thank you for continuing to treat COVID-19 with the seriousness it deserves and for acting accordingly to stop the spread and protect our community.
